a role in the murder of journalists. the us germany and france have already taken similar action canada is also reviewing arms sales to the. murder of tomatoes sochi is a point and represents an unconscionable attack on freedom of expression and freedom of the press he continued to call for a credible and independent international investigation. this case is. closed to those responsible for mr facilities death must be held to account and must face justice president trumps former lawyer has admitted he lied to congress during the investigation into alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election michael cohen told a federal court that he had submitted a false written statement about a trump organization plan to build a tower in moscow reports from washington d.c. . mobbed by reporters michael cohen said nothing leaving the court but inside

a guilty plea he lied to congress now admitting that he was trying to arrange a real estate deal in moscow during the time it was clear donald trump would be the republican candidate the cohen was in fact going to travel to russia to work on the deal and that now president trump knew about it all things cohen had previously denied bruce fein worked in the justice department and he says this is a big deal so this is a time where we have a criminal information that identifies the president himself secondly it also indicates that president trump or then candidate trump felt vulnerable if it was known that he was dealing in russian enterprises or because he would need to curry the favor of mr putin nothing happens in russia of important without mr putin's approval the. president dismissed the news in his usual fashion badmouthing his former top aide he's

a weak person. by being weak but like other people that you watch he's a weak person and what he's trying to do is get a reduced said he so he's lying about a project that everybody knew about i mean we were very open to where the kohen did plead guilty to crimes that completely related to trump pain of women who trump had an affair with so they would stay quiet before the election and while it might not have been illegal to do a deal in russia while he is under investigation for potentially colluding with russia to win the election it would have looked suspicious this makes six six close aides to the president have now pled guilty as part of the special counsel's probe democrats say this is bad for the president you've got all these closest associates of the president one after another pleading guilty often pleading guilty about their ties to russia and russians and what are they covering up for and we also have a white house that still seems just obsessed about this investigation it's believed

the special counsel has filed several indictments that are still under seal which means it is quite likely michael cohen won't be the last to face the cameras or the court in washington mike hanna has more from washington. for the first time since the special counsel's investigation began donald trump is firmly in robert miller's crosshairs in his evidence submitted to the court michael cohen speaks of an individual one this has subsequently be identified as a donald trump himself now michael cohen's evidence is that he lied to congress because he did not want to publicly contradict the statements made by individual one donald trump had repeatedly said throughout the presidential campaign that he had no business dealings of any kind in russia michael cohen it's evidence is that

atlanta little east june twenty sixth the negotiations were continuing with trump property operations inside russia with russian individuals this means that president trump already a candidate when connections and negotiations with individuals in russia itself this despite the fact that even at that stage there'd been intelligence indications that russia was attempting to subvert the electoral process so very damaging evidence for president trump at this particular stage he's completely dismissive of it having tweeted from pureness areas where he's attending the g. twenty gathering that this proves that there is no collusion well many observers believe it proves exactly the opposite and it seems as though the hairs are beginning to be pulled together by the special counsel. the. democratic republic of congo is now the second largest on record behind twenty four

have a vaccine that was we didn't have the vaccine and the twenty fourteen outbreak in west africa so we have a very effective and relatively safe vaccine available now. so that's the good news and so far more than thirty thousand doses of vaccine have been deployed but the problem is working in such an unstable area you have to ensure the safety of the health of the vaccinators and you have to be able to trace attentional contacts and get them vaccinated so in theory this should be. a non-problem we should be able to quickly contain this through use of the vaccine but because of the massive political instability one of the most difficult parts of the world there really slows things down and unfortunately so far more than two hundred people perished still heads on al-jazeera shreve at the age of fifteen but hundreds more young palestinians are still locked up in israeli jails. downstairs

politicians are still cynical about the president's motivations with their actions at the end of march next year the fact that a bill like to only buy back in twenty fourteen it should have been done and everyone would have taken it normally it could have been an adequate response to the situation but now it looks ridiculous. an estimated thirty percent of hockey these people are ethnic russian and the border is only forty kilometers away if the conflict was to escalate drastically how kieve would certainly be in the firing line and this is the city that built thousands of teeth thirty four tanks its legendary armor believed by many to have been one of the main reasons why the soviets defeated the nazis in the second world war. now work to build and maintain ukrainian tanks is virtually nonstop with exports halted.
